So I'm guessing the Race Specific analyst addition is approved by the community? The idea is that after every Main Stream match the analysts will discuss the replay with the main casters. TvP will be QXC and Axlav, ZvT will be QXC and Sheth, etc etc. Please dont. This will be so boring. IMHO you are just trying to hang on "unsuitable" casters because you like them personally. I mean why watching games with casters that dont comment on strategies, then watching it AGAIN with focus on strategies? Thats a waste of time (maybe thats even whatch you are aiming for, with only 8 players). I mean you hav what i takes to watch the game LIVE with good strategy analysis. You got Grubby and qxc. They alone are entertaining and good in analysis. Sheth is good too (i only saw him once casting for NASL, therefore i cant say too much). You put those "analysists" with 1 caster and let them cast the games. I really dont get it. They aren't going to go through the whole game again. I assume it'll be similar to what we had at the last arena but instead of getting Tastosis' thoughts on the game we'll get QXC/Sheth/Axslav's, with the replay being used to highlight certain points in the game.
He has a point tho. The last two MLG events have suffered quite a bit from caster setups where neither caster has anything analytical to say. I'm not hating on them here, but any combo made up out of Wheat/JP/Simpson/Tasteless lacks depth. I'm pretty sure we all noticed that last MLG. On the other hand, if you put someone like Wheat or Tasteless next to a pro and have them simply talk with them, asking them questions, the drill, you get much better commentary. Grubby is a great addition already, but if I was MLG I'd consider using the other 3 pro's aswell for actual commentary, especially for mirrors of specific races.
I don't dislike the analysis post game, but if possible I'd prefer it after a full series when a new player is setting up. I understand that there's a need for short breaks between series and sometimes also between games, and something is better than nothing.

there are more casters/analysts then players lol..
not sure if it's worth it to pay for an 8man tournament, it could be really umm.. boring? Or, it could be the greatest thing on earth. Oye meng, it's hard to decide if it's good or not.

Pay 10 dollars for a small 8man invitational and at the same time competing with Dreamhack who will have a huge live audience bigger prices and just as good players and all free in HD. I really dont think MLG can compete here
I feel MLG did a huge mistake doing this at the same time as Dreamhack
No commercials, all games streamed, and top notch Korean players. Might be Dreamhacks mistake holding this at the same time as MLG.

FOR DRGGGGG~!!!!

Top notch Korean players we have seen so many times last few weeks.. IPL was a Korean overdose, i would like to see some games of them but all.... hmm no not really.
Commercials? Really that big of a issue? Not for me, i dont watch the streams anyway when there are no games going on. And all games streamed.... yeah thats nice but we cant expect anything less if you only have 8 players and when you have many players you cant air them all (same for MLG winter championship)
90% thats gonna watch this Spring Arena 1 thing has a season pass, i dont see many people buying a pass just for this event.
If you have only 2 foreigners in your invitational and one of them turns it down for another event, then i think, it's kinda safe to say your doing something wrong.

The amount our community complains is really starting to get to me.
If MLG hadn't bothered trying these arenas and just continued with their normals live events then you wouldn't be hating on them would you? Or would you, because they aren't trying new things? Everyone says that MLG Championships test endurance probably more than skill, so they bring in these smaller Arenas for the ones who have proved to have the endurance to get to the top to test the skill of these players against each other. Yet now you complain that this Arena is too small. Also, I thought we would have got past the "no free stream, lolwtfMLG" comments. This is an extra tournament, all their normal free streams for the main championships still exist.
/rant
The $15 for gold members is really awesome. Also, I love the set up with analysts, I think it will really add to the viewing experience. The only question mark is Grubby, I love him and think he would be a fantastic caster - but DreamHack announced him as a player. Which tournament is going to get him?
|
great lineup so far!
GRUBBY CASTINGGG!!!
mm only 8 players ?? or the rest will be announced later ??
|
I ... YES! Grubby and Axslav ... My body is NOT ready.
This will be so good. I can't wait.

not really. alot of foreigner stars are going to dreamhack

If Grubby is really ditching DH to cast the Spring Arena they better pay him really good. As much as I love his casting, I love seeing him compete a lot more. He always seems to improve and I bet he lvld up again after the code s level experience in his MLG group. Still, as long as he keeps playing it's fine and the Arena will benefit a lot from Grubby as a caster and I'm sure it will be a great experience.

They're only doing something wrong if you specifically like to see foreigners play for whatever reason. MLG's lineup is much more stacked--I mean even in your example, sure Naniwa decided to go to Dreamhack instead but he's being replaced by MC.
And he's probably going to Dreamhack more because he'd rather go to a tournament in Stockholm than in the U.S. So many other Swedes will be there too so I can imagine how that would be cool for him

Sorry if you think that those players compare to those at MLG Arena. I'm not watching it for a crowd or prize pool, I watch it to enjoy high level games.
And all the best foreigners, that is definitely a big selling point!
The thing Dreamhack has going for them is Dota2, and InControl, so I'll be tuning in to that as well.

Grubby just promised me that, this is NOT a sign of retirement, so i am happy. I like it! 
Grubby: Definitely not Michael.
